唐納德·特朗普勝選后的股市狂歡,在很大程度上忽略了他全面加征關(guān)稅的承諾,尤其是提高對華關(guān)稅的承諾。
許多華爾街人士認為,特朗普的強硬言論更像是一種談判策略,旨在達成更有利的貿(mào)易協(xié)定。基于同樣的思路,巴克萊銀行(Barclays)上周四的一份報告中指出:“我們認為應(yīng)該認真對待當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)特朗普,但不應(yīng)從字面意義上理解他的言論。”
然而,關(guān)于特朗普第二個任期的財政部長人選所引起的公開爭論愈演愈烈,這或許可以揭示特朗普的承諾能否實現(xiàn)。
上周日,有消息人士對《金融時報》表示,特朗普的顧問們正在尋求主要候選者們的保證,即他們將堅定執(zhí)行特朗普激進的關(guān)稅政策。
報道稱,對沖基金經(jīng)理斯科特·貝森特面臨的壓力尤為沉重,他此前在接受《金融時報》采訪時表示,特朗普的關(guān)稅計劃是“極端主義”立場,這種立場可能會在談判中有所削弱。
他在上個月談到特朗普時表示:“我的總體看法是,歸根結(jié)底他是一名自由貿(mào)易者。這是通過升級貿(mào)易局勢來實現(xiàn)降級的策略。”
但上周五,貝森特在福克斯新聞發(fā)表了一篇評論文章,稱贊關(guān)稅是一種增加政府收入的工具,也是保護戰(zhàn)略產(chǎn)業(yè)的方式,但他也表示自由貿(mào)易倡導(dǎo)者的樂觀預(yù)測并未實現(xiàn)。
特朗普過渡團隊的發(fā)言人并未直接回應(yīng)《金融時報》的報道,只是表示特朗普正在確定政府職務(wù)的人選,并會在做出決定后對外公布。
與此同時,特斯拉CEO埃隆·馬斯克上周六力挺金融服務(wù)公司坎托·菲茨杰拉德公司(Cantor Fitzgerald)的CEO兼特朗普過渡團隊聯(lián)合主席霍華德·盧特尼克出任財政部長一職。
馬斯克在特朗普核心圈子中的影響力與日俱增。他在X上發(fā)帖稱:“選擇貝森特相當(dāng)于選擇了一切照舊,而霍華德·盧特尼克將真正帶來變革。”
不久之后,特朗普提名的衛(wèi)生及公共服務(wù)部部長羅伯特·F·肯尼迪也在X上發(fā)帖支持盧特尼克,稱他將成為比特幣的堅定支持者。
上周日,有消息人士向彭博社透露,在馬斯克發(fā)帖力挺盧特尼克后,貝森特與馬斯克進行了交談。
在預(yù)測市場Kalshi上,盧特尼克成為特朗普政府的財政部長的幾率從上周五晚上的20%升至上周六晚上的45%,到上周日迅速上升至53%。而貝森特出任財政部長的幾率則從上周五的近79%降至40%。
加征關(guān)稅將對美國股票市場不利。根據(jù)瑞銀(UBS)的數(shù)據(jù),隨著標(biāo)普500公司的收益下降,即使特朗普按照10%-20%全面關(guān)稅計劃的下限征稅,也可能導(dǎo)致股市下跌10%。
加征關(guān)稅和打擊移民是特朗普的核心競選主張。特朗普曾表示,加征關(guān)稅帶來的收入可以抵消因擴大減稅而損失的收入,盡管預(yù)算專家對此表示懷疑。
但華爾街希望,如果特朗普的關(guān)稅計劃導(dǎo)致股市下跌,特朗普對股市的關(guān)注,能有助于促使他調(diào)整自己的關(guān)稅計劃。
金融服務(wù)公司Siebert的首席投資官馬克·馬萊克對彭博社表示:“在貿(mào)易談判中通過威脅加征關(guān)稅來獲得優(yōu)勢是一回事,但真正付諸實施則是另一回事。”(財富中文網(wǎng))

The euphoric stock market rally that followed Donald Trump’s election victory largely brushed aside his vow to hike tariffs across the board with even higher rates on China.
That’s as many on Wall Street assumed his tough talk was more of negotiating strategy to obtain better trade deals. In that vein, a Barclays note on Thursday said, “We think the president-elect should be taken seriously, but not literally.”
But the increasingly public battle over who will be Treasury secretary in the second Trump administration offers a clue on whether that premise will hold true.
Sources told the Financial Times on Sunday that Trump’s advisers are seeking assurances from the top candidates that they are committed to his aggressive tariffs.
The report added that pressure has been particularly heavy on hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, who told the FT in a prior interview that Trump’s tariff plans were “maximalist” positions that would probably be watered down in negotiations.
“My general view is that at the end of the day, he’s a free trader,” he said about Trump last month. “It’s escalate to de-escalate.”
But on Friday, Bessent authored an op-ed on Fox News that praised tariffs as a revenue-raising tool and a way to protect strategic industries while also saying that optimistic forecasts from free trade advocates haven’t panned out.
A spokeswoman for the Trump transition team didn’t directly address the FT report, only saying that he is making decisions on who will serve in the administration and that those decisions will be announced when they are made.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk endorsed Howard Lutnick, the CEO of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald and co-chair of Trump’s transition team, for the Treasury role on Saturday.
The Tesla CEO, who has become increasingly influential in Trump’s circle, posted on X that “Bessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas @howardlutnick will actually enact change.”
Soon after, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is Trump’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services department, also endorsed Lutnick, saying on X that he will be a strong Bitcoin advocate.
Sources told Bloomberg on Sunday that Bessent spoke with Musk after his post on X endorsing Lutnick.
On the prediction market Kalshi, Lutnick’s odds of becoming Trump’s Treasury secretary shot up to 53% on Sunday from 45% on Saturday night and 20% on Friday night. Bessent’s chances plunged to 40% from nearly 79% on Friday.
Higher tariffs would be a significant headwind on stocks. According to UBS, even the low end of Trump’s plan for 10%-20% tariffs across the board could result in a 10% stock selloff as earning for S&P 500 companies decline.
Tariffs were a centerpiece of Trump’s campaign along with a crackdown on immigration. He has said revenue higher tariffs generate can offset what’s lost from expanded tax cuts, even though budget experts are skeptical.
But Wall Street is hopeful that Trump’s fixation on the stock market will also help temper his plans for tariffs, if they trigger a selloff.
“Threatening tariffs to gain advantage in trade negotiations is one thing, but imposing them is another,” said Mark Malek, chief investment officer at Siebert, told Bloomberg.
